Thanks for the invitations!
Sara Diller and Tiffany were interviewed by Michigan Public
The ongoing dam removal and river restoration work on the Kalamazoo River is an important topic for the economy, health of the river and sustainability of aquatic life. Listen or read Cleaning up pollution and removing crumbling dams help to restore Michigan rivers
Jennifer was awarded a Society of Wetland Scientists student research grant!
Jennifer is conducting master’s research on the relationship between insect emergence and bat and bird use of interdunal wetlands in the sand dunes along the coastline of Lake Michigan.
Schriever lab represents at the ESA Great Lakes regional conference!
Rohan Adams presented his undergraduate research on smallmouth bass diets, Sara will talk about riparian communities along the Kalamazoo River, and Adam's talk was all about rattlesnake conservation! Thanks Jennifer for doing the heavy lifting!
Tiffany is visiting the University of Notre Dame
I'm happy to present the lab's latest research for the Department of Biological Sciences.
Toad predicted breeding presence is related to wetland characteristics.
Congratulations Master Morgan Morin!
Morgan had a the successful defense of research on the influence of macrophytes and wetland characteristics on anuran occurrence in coastal Interdunal Wetlands.
Well wishes on the new job!
New publication is out!

Lab celebration!
The lab celebrated the closing of a field season by participating in a 5 km run. It was a hot, humid run with wine at the end!
Welcome Max!
We are happy to have Max McNeill join our Kalamazoo River field crew this summer!
The lab attended the Joint Aquatic Sciences Meeting
Morgan Morin and Adam Austin both delivered excellent talks!
